As the last time and indeed many time quiz winning team, Roger was asked to set the next quiz in colaboration with our resident quizmaster Glyn.Well its all been done, Roger came up with enough material for the whole of next year too which is most gratefully received and it is now under lock and key . !

Here is a little random teaser to get the 'little grey cells working' :-)

I can't vouch for the veracity of the claim, but which University claims to have a 'graduate in every British Formula One team' ?

Ah! The appropriateness of the question escaped me entirely as I'd never heard of the place!

Ah it were Hatfield Tech in the old days when I were there: a number of motor sporting folk trained there, long before it had a formal course in that sort of thing!Brian Hart and Len Terry come to mind as a start and other ex de Havilland folk, such as Maurice Philippe, may well have been there.

Indeed I went to school in the Adjoining building Hatield School from '61-'68 and we shared a lot of the College facilities including 2 computer rooms which were air conditioned down to a shivering setting complete with 2 Elliott Automation 803 machines which were each the size of a transit van probably had the power of an ipod.Our building is still standing and we had a reunion last year for the leavers of 1968 & 69 but all the vast playing fields have been built over.

For those of you with an interest in pre-war racing the latest in our afternoon history of English circuits series will be Brooklands.

I have just received a message from Richard to say that his local farmer has driven his tractor into the BT telephone pole with obvious results...........he is now out of touch with the outside world, Albury is his worlds end ! If there are any bookings or questions, please message me, and I will endeavour to reach Richard via his steam telephone. Apparently it could be four days before he is in touch again....................

As a first-timer I was very impressed with the way Richard and the team ran the day. Everything went so smoothly, the chicken curry was excellent, and the speakers, especially Murray, were most enlightening. My thanks to all. It was also good to meet so many old friends, and put faces to some other well-known TNFers. A great day out.

Tim, how come we never spoke/met? Great day again, Richard and team excelled yet again, really thought Frank and neil were superb, two guys that have ben there and achieved, interviewed by the voice of Grand Prix for so many years. Some great conversations, we had Maurice Hamilton on our table for lunch, another guest that has seen the superb event that Richard has developed.

Yes, wasn't it? I regret not going back for seconds now.

I thoroughly enjoyed today's show - Dernie's schoolboy enthusiasm shines through from both the films and today. I think he'd make a very good technical expert on TV. Murray, as always was a treasure. Poor old Neil Oatley was hampered somewhat by the fact he's still in the sport, although the stark difference between Dernie's excitable bouncing off the walls and Oatley's quiet understated, say as much as I need to say and nothing more manner was evident in the last film of the day (from 1981) as it was today

Time went very quickly today, which says a lot about the quality of the films. Well done all again, for another fantastic event.

Yet again it is time to say a huge thank you to Richard and the gang for yet another superb day. As ever it was good to see old friends and also put faces to TNF names for the first time and the curry was as good a ever.

Murray was the perfect foil for the exuberance of Frank and the quiet understatement of Neil, see you all for the next one in January.

Another brilliant day, Richard. Many thanks to all. Sterling's table was also graced by Fred Gallagher. Did you notice that le Mans veteran entrant and team owner, and highly entertaining former TNF filmshow speaker, Hugh Chamberlain was in the audience?

Superb day, as usual - thanks to Richard and the gang for all the unseen hard work to make it happen and to feed us so well.

This evening, I tried to explain to a semi-knowledgeable chum the Q&A line-up we'd enjoyed earlier, in a little village just down the road from home - he found it hard to believe and I can see his point. We really are very, very fortunate.

Many thanks Richard, Christine and the team. The catering was up to and possibly beond its usual standard.
Dernie, Oatley and Murray Walker were fantastic.
I had to pinch myself once again while watching the emotional film of Murray's last season of commentary, with the man sitting less than six feet away to my right. I took the liberty of occasional peek in his direction during the film and noticed that his reactions mirrored those which he expressed in the film (especially at the end).

With Murray back for his third visit and as previously mentioned, many of the former guest speakers returning as paying attendees, it only goes to prove what a special event this has become. People outside of that small village hall could never guess at the rich cross section of motorsport royalty that has visited. Once again I feel very lucky to have been present.

I can only echo the sentiments expressed above (except that our route home meant we were pointing the wrong way to see the sunset)

To be honest, having started losing interest in F1 in 1968, I was expecting not to enjoy the day as much as others, but came away thinking it had been one of the best, thanks principally to Dernie (Frank by name and frank by nature ) and Murray

Just back. Good meeting .... David McKinney thanks to whom our table won the quiz [we said the car behind Varzi’s was Nuvolari’s long before the tie breaker ;) ].

If I'd known Regazzoni better, and trusted him more, our table would have got two more points in the quiz

Richard and team. Once again, fantastic event. Could've listened to Murray, Neil and Frank all day. Nearing 90, Murray still has all his marbles, that great voice and so, so sharp mind. Very emotional film of his last ITV season and Jennie tells me you shifted the order to accommodate our early exit? Thanks v much! He is a total treasure.

We left to head off to the BRDC for an evening with Christian Horner with a comment from Frank Dernie in our minds 'it takes 5 years for a team to be successful in F1'. As we all know, Red Bull Racing was establishd in 2005 and won its first titles in 2010. Wise words indeed...

A great day for myself and son Tom. Thanks to Richard and the team for a fine time. The Brooklands film featured a brief clip of the Jamieson Austin side-valve slim single-seater going out to race which we had never seen before.

A bit disheartening to listen to Neil and Frank's views on the future of engineering in future F1. Especially if you are a young engineer.

A fine win David, you will always keep us honest..and you had fewer members on your team, note to self...must try harder.......must try harder...........

You are formidable competion, as we always know and acknowledge, a fine win !

Can I add my thanks to our hosts Richard and Christine for another memorable film show. A great choice of films and excellent guests in Murray, Frank and Neil. I felt the balance between interviews and films was just right and trust Richard to judge that correctly in future as well.

This really has turned into an institution. One day autographed Film Show programmes will be changing hands for serious money and we'll be able to boast that we were there.
